From Glasses to Contact Lenses: Influencer's Personal Journey Highlights Eye Care Solutions

Colombian Influencer Shalom Bonic Highlights Contact Lens Alternative to Glasses for Myopia and Astigmatism In a recent video, Colombian influencer Shalom Bonic (@Shalom Bonic on Instagram) shared her personal experience switching from glasses to contact lenses. Bonic, who suffers from astigmatism and myopia, explained that she experienced persistent headaches due to wearing glasses. "Te da dolor de cabeza usar gafas para ver por tu astigmatismo o miopía?" she asked viewers, translating to, "Do you get headaches from wearing glasses for your astigmatism or myopia?" The video shows Bonic inserting a pair of colored contact lenses, a process she describes in detail. She emphasizes the importance of obtaining a prescription from an ophthalmologist before using contact lenses. Bonic also uses the video to promote her own contact lens services, stating that she offers custom-formulated lenses with various color options. While the video is primarily promotional, it also touches upon a common health concern. The personal anecdote adds a relatable element, but a broader news article could explore the prevalence of myopia and astigmatism, the benefits and risks of contact lenses, and the availability of personalized eye care solutions.
